RANGE OR, STOVE.

Application filed August 31, 1921 Serial No. 497,410.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MIDDLETON BUTTER, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, residing at Inglenook, Aldershot Road, Guildford, Surrey,England,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ranges orStoves (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, 165533,

30th March, 1921), of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved domestic range orstove utilizing one fire for cooking, heating water for radiators anddomestic use, and in one modification providing an open fire in a roomadjoining that in which the cooking takes place.

According to this invention, a stove is constructed comprising a boilerextending round three sides of the fire having perpendicular flue tubespassing through it and having above the said boiler an oven and hotplates so arranged that the hot gases after passing through the fluetubes of the boiler, pass into the oven fines and heat the oven.

The invention will be thoroughly understood if reference is made to theaccompany ing drawings, in which 0 igure 1 is a vertical section of astove provided with boiler, oven flues, lifting grate, fire bars, ashbox, and dampers in accordance with my invention. a

Figure 2 is a section plan showing how boiler surrounds the fire fluespassing thru the boiler. The stove, oven hot plate flues and fittingsand boiler may be made of wrought or cast iron or other sutiablematerial.

Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the boiler.

The fire front is formed of firebars attached to suitable framework,which may be surrounded by any form of finish or decoration in themanner of ordinary fire places.

The boiler is formed with one or more vertically disposed tubular linesof any suitable section. The hot gases may be made to pass b anarrangement of dampers down any or all the tubes and pass under andupwards on the outer side of boiler on their passage to chimney.

The drawings, 1 and 2 show the tubes on one side of fire only, butothers are made with flue tubes on both sides of fire, where morepowerful boilers are required as diagrammatlc view shown in Figure 3.

Bollers extending round three sides of the fire in a domestic range, andhavingvertical flue tubes through them are known, and no claim to suchboilers themselves is made.

The oven and hot plate are so arranged that they can be effectivelyutilized for cooking purposes at the same time as the hot gases arebeing drawn through the boiler tubes to heat water, but the dampers areso arranged that the hot gases can be prevented from passing throughboiler tubes when not required to do so.

The boilers represented in the drawing are open at the front and top.

Similar letters and numerals of reference throughout the illustrationsindicate corresponding parts as follows W W W are water spaces, 7) areflue tubes passing through boiler from top to bottom round which thewater circulates, b are flues. The front bars a are removable. d is amain controlling damper in chimney fiue. f is space above fire andboiler and under hot plate Z. 9 is a swing damper to shut perpendicularboiler flue when horizontal, so that flame can proceed directly roundoven. When this damper is turned up in a perpendicular position theflames and hot gases pass down boiler flue tubes before passing roundouter side of oven 0 to chimney. Z is removable ring in hot plate. 12 isair space under front firebars and ashpit. r is the fixed frame-workwith winder cog through which 1' the vertical bar with teeth rises arefalls. This bar is attached to fire grate and enables the fire to beraised or lowered at will. 8 are soot boxes or cleaning doors.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent ofUnited States of America is 1. A stove comprising, in combination, aboiler forming the back and two sides of a fire place, a plurality offlue tubes passing through the boiler, a hot plate over the fire placefor deflecting the flames and hot gases from the fire place down theflue tubes of the boiler, another flue at the outer side of the boiler,communicating with the said flue tubes of the boiler, an oven above theboiler, a fine around the oven in connection with the side fluecommunicating with the flue tubes of the'boiler and means for supportingthe boiler, the hot plate andthe oven in their relative positions. j

2. A stove comprising, in combination, a boiler forming the back and twosides of a fire place, a plurality of flue tubes passing through theboiler, a hot plate over the fire place for deflecting the flames andhot gases from the fire place down the flue tubes of the boiler, anotherflue at the outer side of the boiler, commnnicatingrwith the :said fluetubes of theboiler, an ovenabove the boiler,

a line around the oven in connection with the sidefiuescommunicatingWith the flue tubes ot the boiler, means for supporting the boiler, thehot plate and the oven in their relative positions and a damper arrangedto direct the hot gases either down through the boiler tubes andsubsequently up around the oven, or to direct said gases around the oven20 ithout passing through the boiler tubes.

In witness whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN MIDDLETON BUTTER.
